Agnus cactus symptoms and conditions

Dear Chrissy,

im fine sweetie thanks for asking, had the really bad 6 days post period and then i hit energy plus i almost feel like the old me in that respect, im taking each day as it comes and like you have told me so many times there will be the good days more so as time goes on. I have started the agnus cactus but know this takes a while to get into the system but the flax seed oil capsules i believe have made a difference and i have lost 6 kilos also so i feel good about that. SILKE that ligt bulb switched on for me too and this past two weeks i have rediscovered my husband and he is rapt, i almost forgot what it was like to have those wantings again......
I so hope that this good feeling is going to last more and more and not slip as i get post period again or if it does that it might get less each month
thanks again for asking about m chrissy i have missed you too

Hey voicesi, sherry here.......
Just to update you on my progress. been taking the water pill for a week now but has not been helping which seems to suggest that there's more to this than general water retention. Weight gain/bloating is still there. Feel horribe about it. This and sometimes experiencing heart racing/anxiety is the withdrawel symptoms i've been suffering.
Wondering how you are doing and how agnus cactus is helping you.
Remember i was only 4 months on this yasmin and i'm already off it for almost the same amt of time. I can't even believe how much havoc this has wreaked on my lifestyle.
I have an appt with this holistic doc. on friday. I sincerely hope he can help me.
looking forward to hear from you and I will be updating my progress.
Love you all.
God bless-Sherry

Hi everyone,
I posted on August 14th in a desperate emotional state after being on yasmin for just 2 weeks. I had lost alot of weight ( well, water weight ) , had awful IBS, depression, anxiety, insomnia, and constant painful bleeding that required painkillers so I could function.
Anyway, I took my last pill the day after that and I am pleased to say that I am almost back to normal! It took about 3 days for the symptoms to subside and now a week later I am feeling much better. Still feel a bit off my food but sex drive is back up , phew!
I started this pill to sort out the PMS blues but one thing I have learned is that I was actually not as bad as I thought. After feeling the lowest in the world I now appreciate how lucky I am to be healthy and not have anxiety problems and illness all the time. Why should I make myself ill just too avoid PMS? Crazy!
So the bleeding has stopped, I am taking iron, agnus cactus and a herbal water pill and I am hoping my cycle will be normal and regular like it was before.
So my advice to you all, just stop taking it now, its not too late, we can detox from this, you are not going mad! Maybe we should just learn to live with PMS, I find keeping a diary of my feelings and giving out a PMS warning to my boyfriend helps!
I have had a IUD (no hormone) for 2 1/2 years now, no unwanted pregnancies ,no bother, I highly recommend it!

Hi Girls,
I've been on Yasmin for 2 weeks and have been experiencing some new changes since taking this pill that have caused me to look online for some advice on side effects. Basically I have been reading through some of the horror stories here and just want to know if I should stop taking this stuff now before its too late! I have had a coil (hormone free) for 2 1/2 years which has been fine , just a couple of painful heavy days during the cycle but otherwise love it. The reason I decided to go on Yasmin was to hopefully help me with PMS symptoms of mild depression, low sex drive, and bloatedness for the 10 days before my period starts. So far it is hard to see whether these symptoms will improve as it is early days. So far I have been bleeding , painfully but not too heavy since I started this pill, I have lost about 10 pounds in weight which is probably the only positive thing and also a very tempting reason for me to stay on it, but the last few days I have felt a bit depressed again and low sex drive and super sensitive about everything, v needy and insecure , plus weak and tired ,not good!
Do you think I should stop now or give it till the end of month?
I did try prozac fo PMT for 6 months last year which really helped but don't want to be hooked on anti depressants for life, even though they kept my weight down too I gained 15 pounds when I came off them.
I have just bought agnus cactus, but is it enough?
Any advice will be greatly appreciated!!!
P.S. Anyone thinking of trying the coil to stop babies, I highly recommend it!!
